Staying Prepared Year-Round: Gear Up for Wildfire Season and Beyond

As wildfire seasons grow longer and more extreme, being prepared isn’t just important, it’s essential. In 2024 alone, we've seen record-breaking activity across the U.S. and Canada, including Oregon’s 1.78 million acres burned and Texas’s largest wildfire in state history. For wildland firefighters, these conditions demand gear that works as hard as you do; durable, field-tested, and ready for anything.

At WD Fire Supply, we know what it takes to protect lives and property on the fireline. Whether you're actively deployed or gearing up for next season, preparation starts with the right tools.

Mid-Season Check-In: Is Your Gear Holding Up?

The middle of fire season is the ideal time to evaluate your gear. From flame-resistant clothing to hand tools and drip torches, your equipment should be performing at its peak because failure isn’t an option when you're in the field.

Take inventory of what’s working, what needs replacing, and where you might need to upgrade. Are your boots still offering the support and protection you need? Has your pack held up under daily strain? Use this time to identify gear gaps and invest in what matters. WD Fire Supply offers a full selection of wildland gear, from PPE and packs to nozzles, shelters, and more so you can tackle the second half of the season with confidence.

Don’t Waste the Off-Season: Make It Count

When the smoke clears, the work isn’t over. The off-season is your best window to rest, reassess, and prepare for what’s ahead. It’s also the time to take advantage of training opportunities, review what worked and what didn’t, and make sure your equipment is ready for cold-weather operations and prescribed burns.

Need drip torches for fuel mitigation projects? Cold-weather layers for off-season assignments? We've got you covered. WD Fire Supply stocks the gear you need year-round so when next season hits, you're not scrambling, you're ready.
